On Kentucky’s opening drive, they drove the length of the field to complete a 6-play, 80-yard drive for a touchdown capped off by 7-yard touchdown run by Derrick Locke. It looked like all Kentucky early.
Ole Miss countered with two touchdown runs by Brandon Bolden and Rodney Scott, and with an 8-yard touchdown pass by Jeremiah Masoli. Ole Miss led at halftime 21-17.
In the second half, the Rebels came out of the gates quickly and won the third quarter. With a touchdown pass from Masoli to Bolden along with a Masoli touchdown run, Ole Miss looked to put the game away.
However, coupled with the fact that Kentucky did not quit and Ole Miss’ inability to put an opponent way – Kentucky came marching back to make things very interesting at the end. Derrick Locke had another touchdown run and Chris Matthews had a touchdown catch to cut the lead to 42-35, and that is how the game ended.
Kentucky moved the football all day out-gaining the Rebels 424 to 301 in total yardage; however, the three turnovers were costly by the Wildcats, as Ole Miss scored each time Kentucky gave it away.
For Ole Miss – Jeremiah Masoli finished the day 9/17 for 90 yards and three touchdowns passing. He also ran for 43 yards and a touchdown. Running back Brandon Bolden had another good game, and he finished with 108 yards and one touchdown on 23 attempts.
For Kentucky – Mike Hartline finished with 300 yards passing and two touchdowns. Derrick Locke finished with 68 yards on the ground with two touchdowns. Randall Cobb finished with 108 yards on 6 catches with one touchdown. Chris Matthews finished with 59 yards receiving and one touchdown.
Kentucky will gear up for when they Auburn this weekend and Ole Miss has a bye week before playing Alabama.
